Rated -55°C to 125°C, this part lives comfortably in military avionics, satellite payloads, downhole instrumentation, or any sealed enclosure where the ambient swings past industrial limits. The 16-SOIC footprint is a standard surface-mount package that reflows on a standard profile and fits existing pick-and-place setups.
